An email address that translated as 'We have come to slaughter' was used to buy chemicals for the Manchester Arena bomb on Amazon, a court heard today.
Hashem Abedi, the brother of the bomber whose explosives were detonated in a deadly blast in May 2017, was linked to the address, the Old Bailey was told.
Abedi allegedly helped build the bomb which killed his older brother, Salman, and 22 others in the foyer outside the arena after a concert by pop star Ariana Grande.
The Old Bailey was told that a Gmail address [email protected] was set up to buy hydrogen peroxide, a vital ingredient for the TATP explosives, on March 20, 2017.
The email, translated from the Arabic, read: 'To slaughter we have come' or 'We have come to slaughter', Duncan Penny QC, prosecuting, told the court.
Hashem Abedi, 22, is on trial accused of helping his brother to assemble chemicals and materials to build TATP explosives which were detonated in Manchester on May 22, 2017
Hashem Abedi's temporary phone was in the same area, 20 minutes before the publicly available Wifi was used at Hulme Market in Manchester to create the email address.
